What If Life's Not a Script? Rethinking God's Plan

The WizeGuys

What if life isn’t about following a strict plan, but rather about dancing with God in a creative partnership? This episode dives deep into that intriguing idea, suggesting that instead of a rigid blueprint, God invites us to co-create our lives, playing along with the choices we bring to the table. Picture it: even when we mess up—like when I accidentally wore mismatched socks to a meeting—there's potential for something beautiful to emerge from our blunders. We’ll explore how this perspective can reshape our understanding of life's ups and downs, and how God works through our experiences, weaving good out of even the messiest situations. So, grab your favorite drink, kick back, and let’s chat about how to embrace the chaos and craft a life that’s living, useful, and downright good!

Questions from the episode:

- Is God still creating?

- How can bad things happen to good people?

- Are we part of His new creation?

- Did he just wind it up and leave it to run? Deism.

- Is he still involved? To what extent?

- Is there an extent to His love?

- How you answer these questions determines, to a large extent, your worldview.

- Plan of salvation through sacrifice and reconciliation.
